kaun bhanwar mein mallahon se ab takrar karega
ab to qismat se hi koi dariya par karega

sara shahr hi tariki par yun khamosh raha to
kaun charagh jalane ke paida aasar karega

jab us ka kirdar tumhaare sach ki zad mein aaya
likhne wala shahr ki kali har diwar karega

jaane kaun si dhun mein tere shahr mein aa nikle hain
dil tujh se milne ki khwahish ab sau bar karega

dil mein tera qayam tha lekin ab ye kise khabar thi
dukh bhi apne hone par itna israr karega
